Key Takeaways
1. Samsung is rumored to be developing a budget version of the Galaxy Z Flip7, possibly named Galaxy Z Flip FE or Galaxy Z Flip7 FE.
2. There is speculation that the device may be released under a different name, potentially the Galaxy Z Flip Xe.
3. The Galaxy Z Flip Xe name has appeared in IMEI databases and carrier websites.
4. The budget Galaxy Z Flip is expected to feature an Exynos 2400e chipset and camera technology similar to the Galaxy Z Flip5.
5. The release of the budget Galaxy Z Flip may not occur until Q4 2025, after the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 in July.
The rumors about Samsung’s budget alternative to Motorola’s affordable clamshell foldable have been circulating for a while. To summarize, this device is thought to be a less expensive version of the Galaxy Z Flip7, similar to how the Galaxy S24 FE (currently priced at $499.99 on Amazon) relates to the rest of the Galaxy S24 lineup. Consequently, it has been frequently referred to as the Galaxy Z Flip FE or Galaxy Z Flip7 FE in various leaks.
Possible Name Change
But like the previous speculations about a Galaxy Z Fold FE, this Galaxy Z Flip FE might actually be released under a different name than what was initially suggested. There’s reportedly a growing amount of evidence that Samsung’s more affordable Galaxy Z Flip could completely omit the Fan Edition (FE) title.
New Developments
According to SamMobile, Samsung’s version of the new Motorola Razr 60 might be coming out later this year as the Galaxy Z Flip Xe. Presently, it’s unclear what ‘Xe’ signifies in relation to Samsung’s smartphone line. However, the website claims that the ‘Galaxy Z Flip Xe’ name has surfaced in IMEI databases and even on a few carrier websites.
Regardless of its name, Samsung is likely to equip its budget Galaxy Z Flip with an Exynos 2400e chipset and camera technology from the Galaxy Z Flip5. The device, identified by the codename SM-F761, may not be available until Q4 2025, which is well after Samsung’s planned reveal of the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 this July.
